Igor Tudor is the new Head Coach of the Men’s First Team. Welcome, Igor!Juventus thanks Thiago Motta for his work, passion and dedication during his time with the club.
Motta’s tenure at Juventus was short-lived, and his departure comes amid growing pressure on the club to perform at the highest level. Despite high expectations, the team struggled to maintain consistency under his leadership, ultimately leading to the decision to part ways.
With Tudor stepping in, Juventus will be hoping for a fresh start as they look to regain their dominance in Italian football. The former defender, who previously played for the club, is expected to bring a new tactical approach and stability to the squad.
